I just hope that HIAL dont give away too much to MOL, its fine having
flights serving an airport but at the same time, I am sure that we will all
agree that in order for airports to move forward they need to make a profit
from the airlines and not just hope that the pax will spend money in the
terminal.
I hope that if there are new routes then they will continue to receive some
of the startup money from Scottish Gov fund but at the same time it should
not be used to just allow MOL to land at the airport for 50p pax. Good luck
to HIAL and I hope that they get a good deal that will benifit them. Last
time MOL had a run in with HIAL he took out a full advert attacking them.

Also are HIAL receive a gov subsidy http://www.hial.co.uk/about.html

in 2002/03 were supported by deficit funding of £15.8 million from the
Scottish Executive. Capital subsidy brought total Scottish Executive
subsidies for 2002/03 to £24.1 million.
